The Air Force (628th Contracting Squadron, Joint Base Charleston) plans to award several firm-fixed-price construction contracts (a Multiple Award Construction Contract, or MACC) for repair, renovation, new construction, demolition and utility work at JB Charleston, SC and a few nearby or outlying bases. Awardees then compete for individual task orders generally worth $1M to $30M, with a combined ceiling of $400 million over about 5.5 years including options. Amendment 002 extended proposals to 14 Oct 2026 and limits the set-aside to HUBZone or SDVOSB firms. Funds are not yet available.
Watch out for
- Set-aside conflict in the notice data. The SAM.gov field says no set-aside and Section A says 'Small Business', but Amendment 002 and the SF 1442 limit the competition to HUBZone or SDVOSB firms only; an ordinary small business would not be eligible.
THIS SOLICITATION IS ISSUED AS A COMPETITIVE HUBZone AND SDVOSB BUSINESS SET-ASIDE USING TRADE-OFF PROCEDURES AND THE PROVISIONS OF SECTIONS L &
- Funds are not available. No award will be made until funding exists, and the Government can cancel before or after the closing date without paying proposal costs.
FUNDS ARE NOT PRESENTLY AVAILABLE FOR THIS EFFORT.
- Large bid guarantee and bonds. A bid bond of up to $3 million is needed with the offer, plus performance and payment bonds on a seed project over $10 million, which is hard for a small firm to obtain.
The amount of the bid guarantee shall be 20 percent of the bid price or $3,000,000.00, whichever is less.
- Heavy past performance bar. Relevant past performance must be Southeast-region work of $1M-$30M scale; projects elsewhere count as Not Relevant, and weak or missing references drop you to a Neutral rating.
Past Performance submitted for projects occurring outside the SE Region will be evaluated as Not Relevant.
- Must bid on 75% of task orders. Failing to submit responsive proposals on 75% of task order requests in a 12-month period can get you removed, and all proposal and site visit costs are unpaid.
Contractors are required to submit responsive proposals on 75% of Task Order Proposal Requests (TOPRs)
- Mandatory site visits for task orders. Skipping a task order site visit makes that proposal non-responsive, and travel costs cannot be billed separately.
Site Visit attendance shall be required for Task Order Proposal Submission unless otherwise specified.
- Only a $3,000 guaranteed minimum. Work depends on winning later competitions; the guaranteed minimum is a $3,000 orientation task order, and proposals may be requested before funding exists.
all JB CHS MACC awardees will receive a $3,000 Post-Award Orientation
- Liquidated damages. Typical late-completion damages were set at $567 per calendar day by Amendment 002.
Update the typical JB Charleston Liquidated Damages rate to
- Pricing documents and Q&A not provided. The seed project price schedule, specifications, drawings, completed Q&A and wage determinations were not in the text, so the price proposal cannot be fully understood from this brief.
- Inconsistent past performance wording. Amendment 0001 says out-of-region past performance is rated Not Relevant, while Section M says it will not be evaluated; the later amendment also changed the recency standard, so check the final Section L and M.
which occurred outside the SE Region, i.e. non-responsive as to relevancy, shall not be evaluated.
